Right!? Personally, I'm counting on a TotJ episode or two, if only to see Sabine and adult Ahsoka rendered in the Clone Wars/Bad Batch style. Overall though, I think I'm most interested in seeing what made Sabine decide to train as a Jedi in the first place. 'Rebels' laid some foundations for it, sure, but there's still a bit of a gap in our understanding of her motivations. Of course this show may yet explore that a little; we'll see.
Except for the tennis shoe in the Hoth asteroid belt. That's clearly evidence of the fossilised remains of a giant human who was big into comfortable footwear.

The question on Sabine and Ahsoka's first attempt at training is when? During the OT when Sabine was defending Lothal from the Empire? Would it be before or after she heard about what Gideon did to Mandalore? Would Sabine pick up training as a Jedi to help defend Lothal, or as a consequence of losing her homeworld? Or was her and Ahsoka's falling out when Sabine heard about Mandalore? Or was the training attempt after The Battle of Endor, and Hera's first post-war attempt to go after Ezra? Sabine doesn't seemed to have learned much, or they focused on her lightsaber skills and not the Force much if at all. Though obviously Ahsoka had Huyang with her even at the early attempt. One wonders if she found him during the Dark Times, or if she found him after she encountered Darth Vader?
Reflecting ship cannons with light sabres in space? Are High Republic and Ahsoka exchanging notes or something?
Ahsoka at least didn't nearly collapse doing it unlike a padawan.

All we know now is that it all happened between the end of Rebels proper, and some years prior to the show.
We don't actually know that Sabine just stayed on Lothal the whole time that's just an assumption based on the Coda. Indeed now we can safely surmise she did not, based purely on the fact she obviously spent time living on the T-6 with Ahsoka.
My personal suspicion is that Sabine's apprenticeship started after Jakku (which was 4-5 years ago), lasted maybe a year or two, and ended 2-3 years ago. That way you don't have to address why a Jedi and A padawan were running around in the rebellion and conspicuously having nothing overtly to do with Luke's own training. But it could just as easily have been that it all happened offscreen during the war, and Ahsoka was perhaps deliberately avoiding Luke for her own reasons.
Either way, that still leaves the question of where Ahsoka was between Malachor and returning to Lothal; an interval that could have terminated right after the finale during the events of 'Rogue One', or at some point after Endor. We just don't know yet. All we have to go on is this from Filloni: -
The intended order of theses is unclear, and may be as much if not more metaphor as they are literal.
As for how the purge of Mandalore fits into all this; it doesn't help that we still don't even know when the purge happened. We tend to assume that it happened around the events of the ANH, but it could have been quite a bit later, maybe even just before Endor (feels unlikely though.)
We also don't know what befell the rest of Clan Wren during all that. Sabine could be the last of her line, or her parents, brother and nieces could all be safe and sound on Krownest. Given how much Mando Season 3 dug into that with Bo Katan, I'm not sure Filloni wants to really dwell on it too much in this story. I'm sure it'll be addressed if it becomes relevant.
They didn't need to exchange notes, because 'Rebels' already did it.
They were on a planet. Planets are in space. Therefore; they were in space. QED.That wasn't in space and they weren't in space suits.
Most of them sucked before The Mandalorian ever premiered. I'm fine with never seeing any of their screeds on Ahsoka.
That's because those types are never really expressing an actual opinion, just mouthing a narrative designed to drive traffic, both from the hateful cretins that agree, and the well meaning marks determined to try arguing the case for sanity. It's a hustle. Best to just click "do not recommend this channel" and move on. Do not engage.
Well at least they fired Kathleen Kennedy for the 73rd time in four years because of it. That'll make it all better.
The whole "KK got fired" schtick must be proving to be the best clickbait ever. It sure keeps coming up, don't it?
When you have fans who are as possessive as Star Wars fans (or Trek fans, etc) then the click bait headline is more like a wishing it to appear or willing it to manifest like some weird magic. It's not even new in this fandom since people were wishing Lucas would sell to Disney and Disney would retcon the prequels, as well as working on "suing" Lucas to sell it.
There was a lot of weirdness around the PT, and how terrible Lucas had run it, and how the new Clone Wars movie wasn't enough to save the PT.
People like to feel they are not alone, so someone offering the same stupid clickbait nonsense is just confirmation bias.
But I thought we were an auto-- Gah! What's wrong with you!? Do you have any idea how much willpower it takes for me to refrain from quoting Monty Python gags now? Point that meme someplace else.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Now the clickbait is about Disney selling it back to Lucas. How fickle we fans are!
There was really only one real problem with the PT that I saw: George didn't have anyone around him with the power or cojones to rein him in when he got outside the box. The story ideas were generally there, he just needed a script doctor, a couple different directors, and frankly, his ex-wife's abilities as an editor.
Yup.
Parkinson will be next.
First they were like "This new Clone Wars thing sucks!"
Then they were like "Actually it's better than the PT, because everything is!"
Then they were like "This is what the PT should have been!"
Now the hope is that the streaming shows and other projects will redeem the sequel trilogy, or at least make the era make more sense so more people will be fine with the Rey movie and post-Skywalker Saga content.
They have been preparing the audience for pre-Skywalker Saga content via the High Republic, and the older fanbase looking for Old Republic content. The Acolyte should be interesting to see how people react.
